Fra malariabeskyttelse til bilulykker - en sjov blanding af historier, der får dig til at grine, græde og lære noget nyttigt!
I en bemærkelsesværdig indsats for at bekæmpe malaria, som plager Etiopien, har den amerikanske regering udleveret næsten 85.000 insektspraybehandlede net. Dette skridt blev taget efter en alarmerende stigning i malaria-tilfælde i landet, hvor den amerikanske ambassadør understregede vigtigheden af at beskytte samfundet mod sygdommen. At kunne sove trygt uden skadedyr kan være en game changer for de mange familier i det gamle Afrikas horn.
Samtidig i Salem, USA, opstod der et mere lokalt drama. En bilulykke involverede tre køretøjer, da en 35-årig kvinde, der havde tabt fokus, kørte ind i bagenden af en bremsebil. En person blev behandlet på hospitalet, og man kan kun håbe, at ingen har mistet noget mere end blot humøret – måske er det tid til at tage lidt ekstra køreundervisning?
I Edwardsville og Glen Carbon står chancen for uddannelse i kørsel højt på dagsordenen, og ikke overraskende hver skole underviser på sin egen måde. Uanset om du vælger en offentlig skole eller et privat køreskolekursus, så er målet det samme: At drive sikkert og ansvarligt. Det er lidt ligesom at vælge, om man vil have sin hotdog med ketchup eller sennep – begge veje fører til en god mulighed for at lære!
Og mens børnene i Cross Creek Elementary skolen får en musikalsk oplevelse med en strygermester, får kommunens vandforsyning vedligeholdt sin kvalitet ved at behandles for spor af en harmløs, men ubehagelig lugt. Undersøgelsen af vandkvaliteten resulterer i en forbedret smagsoplevelse, så de lokale borgeres tænder ikke bare får skridtene i deres liv – de får også skridtene i deres drikkevandskvalitet. Det må siges at være en win-win!
Vidste du, at malariainfektioner kan føre til årlige tab af mere end 800.000 liv globalt? Den afrikanske kontinent har været et af de hårdest ramte steder og indsatser som disse nets kan redde liv!
På den mere lokale front er det sjovt at tænke på, at bilulykker ofte sker, når chauffører bliver distraherede af deres smartphones. En enkelt besked kan ændre udfaldet af en hel dag! Så husk, mens du kører: Hold blikket på vejen og tænk på alt det sjove, du kan berette om ved næste sammenkomst!
